Women's Fur Coat Trends

When it comes to braving the freezing temps and blizzards of the winter months, fiercely enduring the elements in a fur is the quintessential luxury statement. Whether you want to make a statement that is full of timeless glamour or a more modern look, many of the latest fur trends are surely head-turners.

Full-Figure Fur Coats

Plus size women looking for their ideal fur coat should avoid design silhouettes that will make them look bulky. This coyote fur coat from The Fur Vault at Macy's (about $1200) is a slimming shape that can balance one's curves. The teal hue within the coat adds a hint of personality. A vibrant coat as such would be great with a sweater and black leather pants with ankle boots or a black sheath dress and pumps.

Classic Fur Coat

Although many of the latest fur trends are in show-stopping hues and have updated design elements, this classic Fox Trimmed Mink Maxi coat, available at Macy's Fur Vault (approximately $6500) is ideal for the posh fashionista. The outfit options that can be worn with this coat are limitless, ranging from a winter white pantsuit to a bold dress, such as one with black and white print or in a bright hue.

Fur for the Fashion-Forward Woman

The fashion-forward woman who's got her finger on the pulse of style and has a love for vintage-inspired finds will love the Badgley Mischka Marmalade Patchwork Fox Fur and Leather Coat (approximately $900). The subtle patchwork hues offer nostalgic glam at its best. A pair of sleek black pants or solid black bodycon midi dress with high heels adds just the right balance for a bold coat such as this.

Edgy Glam Fur

Those who march to their own style drum require a fur coat that is slightly offbeat. The funky, edgy fashionista with rocking style will love a wildcard in her wardrobe that resonates with her. The Linda Richards Leopard Print Goat Fur Coat (about $2000, available in sizes S through L) is subtly wild with character that can be worn with a variety of looks, from a rugged pair of jeans and a shirt to a black minidress and over-the-knee boots.

Classic Fur Coat for Dressing Up or Down

A classic fashionable woman who wants options doesn't have to compromise when it comes to the latest fur coat trends. The Rabbit Fur Peacoat by Trilogy (approximately $1400 and comes in sizes M through XL) gives a woman style goals galore because it can be worn with any look and for just about any occasion.

Fur for the Petite Woman

If you are a petite woman who has long desired owning a fur, but thought that your body frame would be overwhelmed, there is a style for you.

The collarless winter white fur stops above the hip and is perfect whether you are petite or tall. Whether a woman wants a coat that can dress up her jeans or make a pencil skirt and ankle boots sizzle, this coat offers endless style mileage.

Fur for a Taller Woman

Women who are tall and lean can wear a fur coat that has body without it appearing bulky on their figure. One such style is the Rabbit Fur Coat from CO, which is designed with flap front pockets, made of 100% natural rabbit fur, and stops mid-thigh.
